Lucky for you we're about to finish a season, so you can hop right into the next one, probably a few weeks from now. I wrote this little blurb last time someone asked, lemme know if this gives you a good overview or if you have questions The Chorus.fm Music League Thread • Page 126 • forum.chorus.fm
not sure if you meant to link that page but I'm not seeing any blurb a few weeks from now??? just end it early so I can join
Hmm I tried to link a specific post, here: each week, on Wednesdays, a new round starts. Everyone who is playing will pick any song they want, which they think best fits the weekly prompt. Once everyone has submitted, a playlist is generated on Spotify with everyone's song, and it's all anonymous (you don't know who submitted which song). When the playlist is live, everyone will listen to it and then assign points to the songs they think deserve the points. You can gift as many or as little per song as you want, there is no limit. There is also space to write in comments, if you like a song, dislike, think it fits really well, etc. We love comments! When everyone submits their points, the next round starts!
oh damn I didn't know you could change how many posts appear per page as for joining the next round, how will that work? I guess more info will be shared once it gets to that time.
To get around that, just copy the link from the timestamp of the post: https://forum.chorus.fm/posts/6987831
Yeah basically this round ends on Thursday, then we’ll take a small break while Steve organizes the next season (also the break helps with burnout lol). In like a week or two Steve will post the link to join the new season. All you’ll have to do in the meantime is download the Music League app and make an account. When the link is posted, it’ll take you where you need to go!
In addition to what @trevorshmevor said, there is usually a link posted to submit round ideas for the next season. But I can't remember if this next one is supposed to be a "best of" from all the previous seasons.
Oh and I think you need to have at least the free version of Spotify, just to tie to your Music League account so you can add songs and view the weekly playlists. Someone with Apple Music will often convert it and post in here though for AM users, but if that doesn’t happen you’ll have to to convert it yourself or just listen on Spotify
I think what I'm going to do, unless anyone objects, is make a list of past rounds and have people vote for which to do again for Best Of Thinking maybe everyone submits 3-5 suggestions, then I'll compile and everyone will vote from that list... Still brainstorming
If you're antsy you can look through this season and see the playlists https://app.musicleague.com/l/eb44e4070c2244a0bffecc045e801af1

Ok here's how it's going to work. First, take a look back at all previous seasons and rounds we have done: 1: https://app.musicleague.com/l/817d40b4dc2541819b796f7c133d51c1 2: https://app.musicleague.com/l/cab75a9861ff473dbc545b5e5864ad49 3: https://app.musicleague.com/l/53f182f460574133b877e9c2f95fa19f 4: https://app.musicleague.com/l/ad194c03ac364815aedda32c649e076b 5: https://app.musicleague.com/l/869134071b6a46f699f18377ad907479 6: https://app.musicleague.com/l/89b06c28447f4f24a75249dbcb804180 7: https://app.musicleague.com/l/f8f8d7dacb634f53bec953fc18d90daf 8: https://app.musicleague.com/l/3a43fc440bc245019345fcfff7a56318 9: https://app.musicleague.com/l/eb44e4070c2244a0bffecc045e801af1 Think about which rounds you would nominate to do again. Pick your TOP 3 suggestions and submit them into this Google survey: https://forms.gle/HyysUXiewpQtQwg99 I'll collect all submissions by... Monday? And then everyone can vote once I have them all compiled to get the final list
